Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 766 760 Ten Thousand Paths Celestial Tome? Dao Bizarre's Public Enemy_1

The Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda was still at its peak state, its power astonishing.

Gray flames ignited the body, continuously burning with bizarre strength.

The white blade kept slashing, slicing through the body of the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch of the Deceiving Scripture Hall.

"Books are power!"

The Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch felt the power of the Bizarre Principles weakening day by day and knew the strength of the Suppressing Strange Treasure, thereby resolutely using his last resort.

Behind him, a vast number of Cultivation Technique shadows from the Dao Treasury emerged, each transforming into fuel to forcibly elevate his power limit.

However...

The Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda formed its own world, cutting off some unknown connection and making it impossible to gain more Power of the Bizarre Principle to reach the Half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

Infuriated, the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch threw a punch, not even waiting to shatter the walls of the tower's prison.

The gray flames turned into chains, firmly binding him in place.

The white blade flashed by, stabbing at his Dantian.

The Book Bizarre Token was struck by the blade, quickly shattering.

The power of Suppressing Mystery emerged, forcibly expelling the power of the Book Bizarre Token from his body.

Without the Book Bizarre Token, the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch lost the ability to transform into other Bizarre Path Cultivation Techniques, his strength sharply fell, and he no longer posed a threat to the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda.

"Ah! I am unwilling to accept this!"

The Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch of the Deceiving Scripture Hall felt remorse for not using his trump card earlier; by now, he had become meat on the chopping board.

All of this was thanks to the Master of the Bizarre Hall.

After the arrival of the Master of the Bizarre Hall, he had been watching from the sidelines the entire time, thoroughly enjoying the show.

He was a trader, dealing in many powers of the Bizarre Path, with not a few of the Bizarre Laws originating from the Bizarre Immortal.

The Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch was quite wary, not daring to display all his abilities for fear of the Master of the Bizarre Hall benefiting after his power was overdrawn.

He switched to using the Blood Fiend Bizarre Path Cultivation Technique, employing delaying tactics to battle Jia Ren and preventing sneak attacks.

Unexpectedly, the combat power Jia Ren unleashed was terrifying, directly sealing him within the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda.

All regrets came too late.

After a short time, the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch sensed something and realized the newcomer wasn't the Master of the Bizarre Hall.

To avoid attracting the attention of potent Bizarre Path experts and causing trouble, Jia Ren was making his utmost effort to leave the battlefield in the form of a Golden-Winged Peng Bird.

The one who entered the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda was a Xuan Beast Avatar.

"The Na Xian Bag has already been sent away using the Netherworld Hole Strange Scripture; even if you seal me, you'll gain nothing."

"As long as you let me leave, I'll give you all the Cultivation Techniques and treasures you want."

The Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch sensed the danger of the seal and sought to save himself immediately.

The bargaining chip was the unattained Na Xian Bag and the corresponding Cultivation Technique Jade Slip.

This was his only hope of escape.

"No need for your concern, friend, I have a way to obtain your Cultivation Techniques."

A piece of flesh that had been deliberately preserved appeared in the Xuandao Avatar's palm. After purifying away the bizarre aura, he ingested it in combination with a Corpse-Eating Bizarre Pill.

"The power of Corpse-Eating Bizarre?!"

"How is that possible?! What is your relationship with Yang Chengcang?"

The Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch of the Deceiving Scripture Hall felt the bizarre power of Corpse-Eating Bizarre, his face turning extremely unsightly, realizing that his schemes were futile.

The eyebrows of the Xuan Beast Avatar lifted, and with a smile in his eyes, he said, "If you have some top-notch information about the Deceiving Scripture Hall, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for you."

It was uncertain whether I would obtain enough Cultivation Techniques this time, and it was possible I would have dealings with the Deceiving Scripture Hall in the future.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

"And the recent information on Yang Chengcang."

I don't know much about Yang Chengcang; my understanding of him is still at the level of a Lower Realm Void-Level Corpse-Eating Bizarre, and since then, there has been no news.

Without a doubt, this would be the best way to acquire information.

"Hmph, how can I trust you?" the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch said, his tone showing he was somewhat moved.

With no foundation of trust between us, he won't honor his promise.

The seal upon him, along with the gray flames, turned his bizarre power into fuel. The white blade divided his body, and it was unknown how long it would take for him to be completely dissected and suppressed.

"You can take a gamble; without trying, your only path is death."

"I'll give you some time to think it over."

The Xuan Beast Avatar returned to the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl, assimilating the Cultivation Techniques obtained from the other's flesh.

One after another, Cultivation Techniques emerged in his mind—the Blood Fiend Cunning Divine Scripture, the Black Death God Strange Scripture...

The number of Cultivation Techniques obtained from the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch was ever-increasing, their quality extremely high and their quantity astonishing.

Receiving and organizing the Cultivation Technique memories alone took a full month.

There were a total of two hundred thirty-one Cultivation Techniques of the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm.

There were one thousand eight hundred sixty-four Cultivation Techniques of the Golden Immortal Realm.

There were countless Cultivation Techniques of the True Immortal Realm.

It was regrettable that most of the Cultivation Techniques were Demonic Path methods of the Corpse Sha, ghost, and fiend variety, with few from the Immortal Path and Yao Path.

Many Cultivation Techniques obtained overlapping Power of Laws, with some being techniques I had already acquired.

This time, my Cultivation Technique haul was extensive; coupled with previous gains, I now encompassed over two thousand five hundred kinds of mainstream Power of Laws, drawing closer to the requirement of three thousand different Laws.

The most numerous were the Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques of the Bizarre Path and Corpse Sha, ghosts, and fiends, with all the evil Laws of Yin, malevolence, resentment, and hatred included.

The nearly five hundred missing kinds of Power of Laws tended to lean towards Yao, body-type Laws, and obscure, niche Cultivation Techniques.

To obtain such Cultivation Techniques, I'd likely have to make a trip to the Yao Race.

A month later, Jia Ren entered the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda.

During that time, the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch had died who knows how many times. No longer retaining his previous aloof demeanor, he hastily said, "I can inform you of the intelligence, friend."

"The Deceiving Scripture Hall has four Hall Masters—Yao, Demon, Bizarre, and Immortal—each a Demon Lord-level powerhouse."

"The Deceiving Scripture Hall collects Cultivation Techniques, seeking to integrate all techniques in the world in an attempt to create the Ten Thousand Paths Celestial Tome."

"Once the Ten Thousand Paths Celestial Tome is complete, all the Cultivation Techniques it encompasses, along with the transformed powers of Yao, Demon, Immortal, and Bizarre, will be under its control."

Four Hall Masters: Yao, Demon, Bizarre, and Immortal?

Ten Thousand Paths Celestial Tome?

Control over the power of all cultivators?

The Deceiving Scripture Hall has grand ambitions that should not be underestimated.

Its purpose somewhat resonates with my own.

The former seeks to control all power, turning everyone under the heavens into puppets, acting in place of the Heavenly Dao.

I wish to eradicate the Bizarre Path and restore order.

Their ambitious nature ensures that eventually, a face-off is inevitable.

Jia Ren wanted to gather more intelligence on the four Deceiving Scripture Hall Masters.

However, the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch's knowledge was limited.

The four Deceiving Scripture Hall Masters were elusive, their whereabouts unpredictable.

Although he was part of the Deceiving Scripture Hall, in reality, he was merely an instrument for collecting Cultivation Techniques.

"What about Yang Chengcang?"

Having acquired the information about the Deceiving Scripture Hall, he then inquired about Yang Chengcang.

"This monarch knows little about Yang Chengcang. After all, he is an Ancestor of Deceit-level powerhouse, a formidable enemy to all other Ancestors of Deceit."

"Numerous Ancestors of Deceit have banded together multiple times, trying to seal him away to eliminate this grave threat to the Bizarre Path, but each campaign has ended in failure."

"Were it not for many Ancestors of Deceit being occupied by him, preventing many Dao Bizarre from operating alone, the Immortal, Yao, and Demon Paths would have been subdued by the Bizarre Path long ago."

Ancestors of Deceit?!

Jia Ren was stunned for a moment, seemingly unwilling to believe it.

It's too astonishing to hear of someone from the Lower Realm who entered the Immortal Domain over a hundred thousand years ago and has grown to be among the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm...

Inside the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda are still sealed remnants of the Corpse-Eating Bizarre. With his control over the Bizarre Path not fully restored, how could he have become a Dao Ancestor?

I had initially assumed that he was just a peak existence below a Dao Ancestor. Yet, it seems I had greatly underestimated his Realm.

Could it be that he possesses some technique to compensate for his shortcomings?

The mere thought of Yang Chengcang having devoured the power of untold Bizarre Demons, being in such a uniquely favorable position...

After entering the Immortal Realm, enduring the most difficult 'vulnerability period,' his future was clear sailing.

He is the favored child of the era of the Bizarre Path, unrivaled by anyone.

Jia Ren took a deep breath, slowly steadying his emotions.

"Yang Chengcang moves unpredictably. He recently appeared in the Abyssal Demon Realm, where many Demon Immortals have become his zealous followers. It's unclear what he's planning, but his presence caused a great battle between two major Demon Domains."

The Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch didn't hold back, spilling all he knew.

This was the complete version of the information Jia Ren had gleaned from the trade in the Bizarre Hall.

I had thought the battle within the Demonic Path was at the Daluo Golden Immortal level; it now appears that the combat power involved far exceeded my expectations.

Joining rashly without understanding the circumstances would have surely led to certain death.

I can't help but feel somewhat fortunate that my luck wasn't too bad.

"This monarch has informed you of the intelligence. You should keep your promise and let me leave," said the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch.

Jia Ren didn't respond, leaving the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, with only the raging voice of the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch echoing persistently.

A Bizarre Demon Lord who knows about the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda could not possibly be allowed to leave freely.

Until now, not a single Bizarre Demon that entered the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda has ever escaped.

It hasn't happened before, and it certainly won't in the future.

With the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch entering the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, his fate was already sealed.

Before leaving the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda, Jia Ren severed the memories associated with Yang Chengcang and left them inside the pagoda.

This person has become a powerful Ancestor of Deceit; retaining memories related to him poses an inherent risk.

The Thought Bizarre is proof enough; knowing strengthens it, and those with similar memories will become his vessels.

Who knows whether Yang Chengcang has even stranger methods to steal my memories?

If he believes I will be a threat to him in the future, he will nip that danger in the bud...

I don't want to bear such a risk.

Being cautious when dealing with such a terrifying being is the only way to ensure my survival.

The Golden-Winged Peng Bird constantly adjusted its course, heading towards the Donghua Immortal Domain.

He encountered no Bizarre Immortals or Demon Race powerhouses along the way and arrived smoothly at the border of the Black Death Demon Realm.

The boundless Void obstructed his path.

Jia Ren didn't hurry to leave, changing the Power of the Thousand Transformations Rule into the Suppressing Mystery Law to maintain the grade of the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda.

Once this power was withdrawn, the quality of his Life-bound Xuantian Immortal Treasure would slide all the way down to inferior grade.

Such a level of power would be insufficient to seal the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch; there would be a risk of him breaking free.

He had to maintain the quality of the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda until the Demon Monarch was completely segmented and suppressed.

It's a pity that I still haven't found a method to replenish the Law of the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda.

The Thousand Transformations Rule does not come from the same source; it can only maintain the state for a while and isn't a permanent solution.

The only method is to infuse the Profound Heaven Suppressing Immortal Demon Pagoda with identical Law power, augmenting the quantity of its Law power.

The Immortal Domain is vast, and it's unclear where this type of Law power is preserved; it's nowhere to be found.

Jia Ren found a deserted area and stopped, reverting to his original appearance.

It wouldn't be too late to leave once the Lu-surnamed Demon Monarch was completely suppressed.
